Dear participants of our follow-up meeting to the green China trip in Berlin on 14 and 15 December,

So that you can get an insight into the current planning status of our Berlin meeting, I will update the planning status here over the next few weeks, depending on what new developments arise. Jürgen asked me not to plan as many visits for our meeting as in China, but to leave more space for social encounters. Accordingly, I have only included the points that the majority of everyone or almost everyone wanted.

Below you will find two sections: The first section contains

    A. Information from our meeting with
  1. program (scheduling)
  2. Cost of our meeting in Berlin per person
  3. Details about the cabaret "Distel" with seat reservation
  4. Suggestions for designing the non-planned time at your free disposal
    and the second

    B. What do I have to do?    with
  1. reserve a hotel room
  2. transfer further costs of the stay

4. Suggestions for designing the non-planned free time

If you are still looking for ideas on how to use the time not planned for joint activities to explore Berlin, you will find a few suggestions below, for which I would like to thank Thomas Krings in particular. Most of the following tips start in the wider area around the hotel (some of them are neighboring districts).




B. What do I have to do?

1. Reserve a hotel room

In order to secure a place to stay overnight in the hotel, I ask you to reserve a room in the Dietrich-Bonhöfer-Haus as soon as possible (if you have not already done so).

To do so, please visit the Dietrich Bonhöfer Haus website and book the room there for the overnight period you require (e.g. Saturday, December 14, 2024 to Sunday, December 15, 2024).

To facilitate allocation to our group in the hotel, please indicate that you are Gruppe Wiendl - VA_1668 heard.

                 

ATTENTION NEW!        (As of October 29, 2024, 9:30 a.m.)

Please no longer reserve the room via the Bonhoeffer House website as the website now shows different prices.
Please write an email to      info@hotel-dietrich-bonhoeffer.de     ( info@hotel-dietrich-bonhoeffer.de ) and request a booking confirmation or call them on 030 28467-0.
I have already stored your names there and you will then receive the agreed prices.



2. transfer further costs of the stay

Since I assume that we will all accept the invitation from Jürgen and Yaling in Shanghai and also attend the cabaret, I ask that you transfer the additional costs to the following account within the next two weeks (no later than November 13, 2024 ):

       Recipient: Eckard Wiendl
       IBAN: DE53 6001 0070 0017 3777 04
       Purpose: follow-up meeting to the China trip in Berlin

For all those who do not want to contribute to the costs for Jürgen and Yaling or the cabaret, please let me know as soon as possible so that we can make up the shortfall. If there are any other issues that are not covered in this letter, please let me know as soon as possible!
